Every­one and their mother has been post­ing about this thing, so I was going to skip blog­ging about it…but oh man, is that thing fun!
I made the images below out of a cou­ple shots from the Madonna Inn I had lying around. Of course you should just do the real thing at Polar­iod Apocalypse.

+ Mar­garet & Helen

http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/

A heart­felt polit­i­cal blog, by grannies. So cool!

My name is Helen Philpot. I am 82 years old. My grand­son taught me how to do this so that I could “blog” with my best friend Mar­garet Schmecht­man who I met in col­lege almost 60 years ago. I have three chil­dren with my hus­band Harold. Mar­garet has three dogs with her hus­band Howard. I live in Texas and Mar­garet lives in Maine. 

Time lapse pho­tog­ra­phy with a TI-85 graph­ing calculator

My friend Ed made this sweet time lapse using his TI-85 as an intervalometer. 


Dreary Day as viewed from my win­dow from Ed Hun­singer on Vimeo.

More info on how he did it at geeked.info.

Pan­tone Rubix Cube

Pantone Rubix cube

How cool is this thing?
Looks like you can’t buy one though. 

Girl’s Heart

Lastly, this youtube video blew my mind. It gets extra cool in the last half or so.

+ Jenny Holzer

I’ve talked about her before on this blog, so I won’t go on at length about it, but here are a cou­ple quotes from her “liv­ing” series:

YOU SHOULD LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TIMES
YOU ACT AGAINST YOUR NATURE,
LIKE SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE YOU HATE.
IT’S INTERESTING TO TEST YOUR
CAPABILITIES FOR A WHILE
BUT TOO MUCH WILL CAUSE DAMAGE. 

IT IS UNFAIR TO TEAR SOMEBODY APART
WHEN HER HEALTH AND EXUBERANCE
THREATEN YOU. 

+ tomorrow’s post will be late, but from New York City! Ooh!

I’ve been a long time fan of Zac’s work, and as a fel­low pro illus­tra­tor who also works in the adult indus­try, I rec­og­nize 90% of the peo­ple he draws.
Some­day I’ll draw them too.
